Abstract
This paper relates that America has made Canada dependent on its own resources because of the massive military industrial complex it possesses. The author points out that, due to these economic measures, Canada is bound to resource development and is subject to foreign enterprises, which use Canadian workers for lower wages because of NAFTA. The paper states that, since Canada has not developed a stronger innovative and manufacturing sector along more nationalized lines, it will continue to be enslaved by American economic dominance.
From the Paper
"The first economic aspect of the Williams/Clement article reflects the reliance upon British investment to create the groundwork for Canadian trade throughout the world. This reliance became the manufacturing sectors primary directive until economic problems in the 80's limited Canada's trade powers. In this manner, American companies gained more power in nationalizing trade by working with Canada in building up the economy. The FTA agreement helped to encourage more power from American companies that superseded Canada's own manufacturing base in Ottawa."

Abstract
This paper states that Canadians are overwhelmed with uncertainties about the capacity of their political system to achieve their economic goals. The author believes that the federal state is moving towards neoliberal control, which downgraded economic tasks to lower levels of governance and raised power to the global and continental tiers. The paper describes the many changes that have taken place in the role and organization of the Canadian government to achieve this neoliberal economic policy.
From the Paper
"Since the Canadian government settles trade treaties but can execute them only in areas of its own constitutional jurisdiction, provincial participation has been necessary to realize what are understood to be the profit of liberalized trade. For this reason, Ottawa has encouraged improved provincial participation since the 1970s. In contradiction, an increased provincial function in trade policy has resulted in diminished provincial capability for industrial policy."

Abstract
This paper discusses the political make-up in Canada, focusing on the political parties that make up the government. The paper examines the role within government of the non-Canadian un-elected monarch, who is currently the Queen of England. The paper looks at the ongoing discussion in Canada about ways to make the country more a democracy and to protect the democratic institutions that have been created.
From the Paper
"The system for both domestic and foreign policy issues tends to be a pluralist democracy even as leaders promote the idea of a representative democracy. The system is unjust because it ignores or devalues millions of people, perhaps the majority of the citizenry, while responding to the loudest groups either in terms of those spending more money or those making their views heard most clearly. At the same time, it is difficult to see how it could be otherwise at the federal level, the sheer size of which reduces the link between elected representatives and the people they serve. Leaders will always respond more readily to the constituents they hear than to those who do not make their views known, and this necessarily means public interest groups and elites that make their views known will have more power."

Abstract
This essay compares and contrasts the political cultures of the Canada and the United States, arguing that despite debates over the apparent differences in the political cultures of the two countries, the underlying corporate domination of political relations in both societies suggests that apart from superficial political differences the political cultures of Canada and the United States are likely to increasingly converge in the near future.
From the Paper
"A Comparison and Contrast of the Political Cultures in Canada and the United States Introduction Canada and the United States are two liberal democracies that, although they share a common continent and have had extremely close social, political, economic and cultural relationships for generations, possess radically distinct political cultures."

Abstract
Michael Ignatieff's 2000 Massey lecture highlighted Canada as a rights society. This is a consequence of the geographic concentration of the three founding peoples. The result has been conflicts between the federal and provincial governments and between natives and provincial governments. This discussion focuses on the assertion that 'land claims' are an avenue to settlement of these issues. It links establishment of a territorial base to political autonomy.

Abstract
This paper discusses the role of the Competition Bureau in regulating mergers and corporate concentration in Canada's economy. The paper discusses the importance of considering the economy that the Bureau is operating in.

Other surrounding issues are addressed as well as looking at real examples in the past decade addressing this topic.

Abstract
In short, there are major differences between the economy in Nova Scotia, Ontario and, say, Saskatchewan. All provinces have historically different patterns of development, different opportunities for economic success and different expectations from 'Canada' as a whole. These differences pull at the thread that keeps the country together.

Pollution and Canada's Economy, 2002.
Examines the impact of pollution on the Canadian economy.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will argue that - given the complexities of the intersection of pollution and the economy - it is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve a clear measure of the various impacts of pollution on the Canadian economy. It will be argued that, given that what economists term the "externalities" of pollution are difficult to measure clearly, there is a economically defensible need for government intervention even if it negatively impacts the economic health of the country.

Canada and the Global Economy, 2002.
How globalization is affecting trade within and out of Canada.

»

Abstract
This paper discusses the phenomenon of globalization and how it has caused the increase of capital flows across borders and numerous free trade deals between nations. The paper argues that, as globalization has brought the world economy closer together, Canadian sovereignty and economic well being have been significantly weakened. Globalization has spawned the Free Trade Agreement, which has taken away Canada's ability to make decisions for itself. Moreover, it has fuelled the policies of deregulation and privatization, which have destroyed the Canadian safety net.

The Staple Theory and Canada's Economy, 2002.
Explores the history of the staple theory and its contribution to Canadian economic history.

»

Abstract
For the purposes of this paper, a staple is a product with a large natural resource content. Some part of its fabrication must take place at the spot, even if only in the trivial sense of seizing it away from nature. This paper finds that the staple theory though not perfect is the most appropriate context in which to evaluate the process of Canadian economic development. As such, it makes an enormous contribution to the study of Canadian economic history. This point will be developed by looking at the evolution of the staple theory,and by its application to the well-known historical facts of Canadian economic development.

Concentration of Political Influence, 2002.
Examines how the concentration of wealth in Canada is contribution to political influence which governs the market.

Abstract
It appears to be quite certain that the concentration of financial wealth in Canada is leading to a concentration of political influence. One disturbing development in our democracy is that the political state is starting to be governed more by the market than by the sentiments of the voters - even though the market is supposed to be a representation of the peoples' preferences. But in the end, the state has become a symbolic representation of the vested economic interests of one small, but powerful constituency of society.

Canadian Political Parties, 2002.
Compares and contrasts the foundations of the Reform party and the Bloc Quebecois, two of Canada's political parties.

Abstract
By the end of the 1980's, it was becoming increasingly clear that the antiquated two party system in Canada was no longer effective in representing the views of the entire nation. Regional cleavages were becoming severely pronounced and alternative regional-based parties were thus progressively more alluring. The success of the Francophone Bloc Quebecois and the western based Reform party boldly highlights the intensity of the thrust behind the regional movement. This paper will compare and contrast the constitution of these two flourishing parties and some light may be shed upon the changing nature of politics and electoral behaviour in Canada.

Are Political Parties Necessary?, 2005.
A discussion of the necessity for political parties in Canada.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 5 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper addresses the issue of whether political parties continue to be an essential part of the political process today. With particular reference to the political system in Canada, the paper looks at the growing power of corporations being paralleled in developed countries of the Western world by increasing voter alienation from political life as symbolized by low turnouts at election time. The conclusion of the paper is that there is no longer a need for political parties.
From the Paper
"The question of whether or not political parties are necessary is a complex one in our 21st century society. In large measure this is due to the changing nature of governance in our modern culture, with the growing power of corporations being paralleled, at least in developed countries of the Western world such as Canada, by increasing voter alienation from political life as symbolized by low turnouts at election time. In this context, this essay will argue, with particular reference to Canadian political history, that political parties are no longer necessary."

The Canadian State as a Racist Political Culture, 2008.
This paper discusses the development of the Canadian state as a racist political culture.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that in Canada in the early 21st century there is the widespread belief that racism is largely a concern of other countries given such state policies as multiculturalism. This being said, this essay argues, through the critical examination of scholarly texts on the subject, that, in fact, the development of Canada as a racist political culture defines the fundamental institutions of the Canadian state to the present day. The writer maintains that when Canada is considered in terms of its historical development, in terms of its policy making - as in the case of multiculturalism - or in terms of its political culture manifested in the mass media and the economy, there exists overwhelmingly evidence in support of the contention that Canada is a fundamentally racist political culture.
From the Paper
"Consider, for example, the unrest that has often erupted in Canada between Aboriginals and the government/land developers who are seeking to build on sacred Aboriginal lands. Even if we set aside the issue that all of the North American continent itself originally belonged to the ancestors of these Aboriginals, the fact that it has been so difficult for these First Nations to enforce their treaty rights through the courts that they must resort to peaceful civil disobedience is evidence of the radical inequality in the Canadian social, political and economic systems. Indeed, as the conflicts years ago at Akwasasne and Oka, dissent and civil disruption appear to be the only way that marginalized populations can make their case in the public arena given that they are effectively dispossessed."

From the Paper
"During the late 1990s, the term, "New Economy," began appearing in articles and news reports as analysts sought to describe transactions that were largely Internet-based, or at least transactions which did not require consumers entering a brick and mortar store. Articles were written about the young entrepreneurs who were rewriting business rules, about companies where Casual Friday evolved into Casual Everyday, and how the New Economy would radically change the entire business landscape. As 2000 draws to a close, however, it is becoming obvious that the Old Economy is not going to go away entirely. Many of the touted "dot com" companies have gone bankrupt as they were unable to produce that most traditional product of the Old Economy: profit. New Economy companies are finding that they must integrate Old Economy ..."
